    How to visualize asian Fonts in Squeezebox Touch?

    Hi.

    How can I see Thai fonts at the squeezebox touch? I have hundreds of songs tagged in Thai, and some in Japanese, but I only see boxes.

    I am using the Squeezebox playing directly from USB Hard-Disk.

    I have used the search engine but I could not find a satisfactory answer. I will appreciate any help. Otherwise the Squeezebox is just a non-useful black box for me :-(

    Thank You

    There is a "Replace Font" add-on for the CJK fonts. I don't know if it include fonts for the Thai language.

    Edit: Settings > Advanced > Applet Installer

    True. But the method to replace the font on device is the same. Just use
    one which supports Thai.

    Thank you very much for all your answers.

    I´ve tried the system of the SD card and it works with the Japanese fonts. But I can not see the Thai fonts, that are the most important for me.

    If I go to Settings > Advanced > Applet Installer I can only see two aps: BBC Radio and World Clock.

    I have tried to copy the Thai font AngsnanaNew to the SBT but It doesn't work.

    I have followed the following system to copy the fonts:

    1.- copy the ansagn.ttf font to the SD card (together with the squeezeos-boot.sh file)
    2.- rename ansagn.ttf to DroidSansFallback.TTF (to have the same name of the file to copy)

    Is it the correct syste to copy a font to the SBT? id did work with the asian font, but not with the Thai font.
